2016 NBA Offseason thread - Free Agency,Trades,Hires,etc

[Voight]

How do people stay fans of Minny teams. It's bloody depressing and I'm a fan of only one franchise (Twins).

- KG retired
- Vikings look like superbowl contenders? Injure half their offense
- Twins have sucked for the last 5 years
- Wild are decent so far, especially after landing Bruce

KG has barely played the last two years, so to be fair they weren't going to see him play much this year regardless.

Besides, they got to see apex KG.

I'd feel pretty excited as a Wolves fan right now.

GG Vikings fans though.

Meanwhile not a happy camper in Bucks fan land with the Middleton news. Hoping for a big year from Jabari.

GG Vikings fans though.

They're beating Carolina m8

 

[Halladay]

Pierce is retiring at the end of the season.

loved KG in minnesota, hated him the second he got to boston and started going after guys half his size. he is the OG "fake tough guy." he's a legend but i have zero respect for the guy

as for wheelchair all i have to say is good riddance

 

[Deficient Mode]

Very sad that Garnett is done. His personality was completely unnecessary to me, but I loved him as a player.

 

[NJDevs26]

Tough call...you don't actually feel like you earned it on the one hand, but on the other it's a NBA Championship ring and he was on that team for a lot of years.

Could not agree more.

Oh please - you guys really think he started his " fake tough guy " act when he started playing for the Celtics.

he didn't chirp at euro guards and go after little guys before he got to boston. unless you count the time he talked smack to anthony peeler and kissed peeler's elbow soon after

he became a complete POS the second he joined that team.

 

[KaylaJ]

that's pretty naive to believe that once he put on another jersey all of a sudden he went 180. it started in MN

clips?

the only time i remember him being a POS in minny was when he tried going after matt freakin bonner

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Just because he doesn't behave like classy Timmy doesn't mean he's a POS.

Are Pierce and Dirk the only ones left that were born in the 70s? I honestly can't name anybody else.

 

[Avs_19]

Nerlens Noel, like the rest of us, is confused by the make up of the Sixers roster.

Nerlens Noel says Sixers must make a trade, Colangelo says they can wait

Waiting to see if Embiid can stay healthy isn't the worst idea because of his history but I think they should have moved one of the other two out.

going after guys half your size makes you a POS

carter, ginobilli, world peace, brand, terry, birdman, prigioni were all born in the 70s

if you're counting FA's too there's guys like dre miller, pargo, nazr mohammed, ray allen if you consider him active

 

[BostonBob]

going after guys half your size makes you a POS

OK - if KG actually went after somebody that was 3 feet 5.5 inch then I'll agree with you but I'm going to need you to post a picture or video of this heinous attack.

Even if they start Simmons at PG (Brett Brown has mentioned that before) that front court still has Saric/Noel/Okafor/Embiid..... like what was the point of drafting Okafor when you already had Noel, nevermind Embiid was still rehabbing at that point (yea 2015 was full of bad news for him but the point remains)

Would have been better off picking Hezonja or trading down & picking Johnson or Winslow.

He slapped Duncan in the back of the head while Timmy was trying to pull Robinson away from the argument with Joe Smith. He also pushed Parker which led to him and Duncan being kicked out of the game, though Duncan's was later rescinded.

How many times was he involved in incidents with his own teammates like when he punched that one guy?

Was he worse in Boston than in MN, you bet, but like I said acting like he didn't already have these traits before Boston is being naive.

who does noel think he is? let him become a GM and then call the shots... until then, zip it and play consistent ball.

Oh come off your high horse. He's just saying what every other person, probably including other players in that locker room, is thinking.

[Morozov]

The main thing I took from that Noel article is that Brand is still in the league.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Doc and Pierce are calling the current Clippers a super team as good as the Warriors. They've never been past the second round of the playoffs.
